Girls shonll be Useful at Home.

from the Hoyra5lag Lldopsaaeai
There is a large class of Americans
people of opulcnce, men of acquired OF
inherited wedlth-who Ito not hesitate
to ncuIcate the belief am ing their chill
dren. and especr ally their daughters, that
it Is useless aud unnecessary for them to
learn to do anything useful in connection
with domestic manual labor. 1t is no
cleS of society for ladit to declare: MY
husband or my father is rich; why,
then, should demean myself by manual
labor" In such society" it is deemed
vulgar for lady to know how to do a
useful thing IN conn ction with house
keeping Parents il these cases rear
their daughters not to learn To do the
Use 'ui, and many mothers whose huS-
bands are under \ hard strain every day

lack of manhood and if it is not true 1t
IS a wicked libel on the character of an
American gentleman.
Girls who won't learn TO do useful
things at home because their fathers are
rich lose opportunities to tit themselves
to meet the exigencieS and the accidents
of life. 1t has always been the custom
for the Princes of Germany to learn
trades The Bourbon Princes of France
all acquired trades. Some of them were
printers. book binders, shipwrights house
carpenters joiuers and painters; they did
not follow these yocations, but they I'M
derstood them. Royal and princely ladies
in Germany and France understand every
function of housekeeping and know how
to perform it. They can so to the dairy
and the stable and handle milk or COW
and horse with dexterity and satisfac-
ton. The Prince Of Wales is a book
binder; each of his brothers has trade,
and his sons are now learning trades &C

Although millions OF dollars worth
Of property, in cattle and sheep, have
been wiped out in the past two months,
in Montana, the blow will not severely
cripple these industries or affect seri-
ously her financial condition. The
losses on cattle in the ma jority oi
cases will fall upon those able to stand
the pressure. while wool growers will
soon regain their lost ground. The
coming season looks favorable for /,
good grass crop and IA large yield OF
ranch products. New mining enter
prises will be inaugurated, employing
large forces of men, and putting
money into circulation. There Is
promise OF great activity in railroad
construction within our borders. II
the promises and large talk made
during the winter are of any account,
Montana should not contain an idle
man next summer, and our towns and
cities should make rapid strides in
their growth.
The new county OF Fergus will feel
most keenly the loss sustained by the
stock industry, us cattle formed over
one-half OF the assessed valuation oi
the county, last year. But the county
is settling up rapidly and other indus
tries developing which will carry Us
safely through the first year, with
economy and good management.
We do not believe there will ever be
recurrence of the same conditions,
in Montana. Already plans are being
devised for better protection OF cattle
by small owners, such as fencing land,
irrigating. and raising hay. Sheep
men will be alert to avoid disaster in
the future, and there will be greater
activity in this section next fall than
has ever been witnessed before The
construction of the Manitoba road
along our northern border will have
a radiating influence which will be felt
before the approach OF another winter.
The outlook is by no means discour-
aging i'm a general view of the situa-
ton, and it may be possible the severe
winter just encountered will be the
means of placing our chief industries
on more remuncratiVe and perma-
n.nt ha-is.

More Trouble With the chcyeaaes.

\ Miles City special to the Independ-
ent. February 25th. says: There is
more trouble with the Tongue River
Cheyennes. Last fall young buck
broke into the post office AT Ashland,
about ninety miles from here. and had
not been arrested, although the com
plant was made, until last week,
when the warrant was placed in the
hands OF a deputy sheriff whom the
United States marshal had commits
stoned to make the arrest. Proceed
ing to the agency the deputy and as
sistant identified their man and col
Jared him and set out for Miles City
When about five miles from he agency
a band of the Cheyennes rode furiously
up, and with guns drawn and threat
ening gestures forced the deputy to
give up the prisoner. The deputy re-
turned to this city last night and will
take u reinforcement for his possee
and return to the agency AS soon as
possible and endeavor o recapture the
rescued prisoner as well as to take
into Gust ody the members OF the war
party. This is the same tribe with
whom so much trouble was ahticipa-
ted early last winter, and three com
panies of soldiers were sent there from
keogh ut that time to hold them i'm
check. The action OF the officers in
turning their man loose without blood
shed Is a subject OF commentator, as
one Indian there killed would have re-
suited in n wholesale slaughter OF the
white ettlers, who are dist ribute ed
throughout that locality, the upper
Tongue river valley.

While the last legislature was ctissed
for what it did the present one
should he blamed for doing nothing.
There was very little legislation needed
or demanded OF this session. a few
new laws passed and some OF the old
ones amended was all that the people
expected. But there have been enough
bills introduced by our statesmen
to fill book as large as the bible, and
some OF them not half as applicable
to our present and future welfare as
that ancient book. Some men think
they are born legislators and if they
do not offer fifty bills and monopolize
valuable time they are not earning
their money or doing anything for
their posterity. 1t is IA waste of space
to publish the title OF hall OF the bills
offered. \ good deal of time is spent
in discussing religion, moralizing and
telling stories. When u good measure

that will insure honest elections-what
honorable men of both parties desire.
The objections brought against it are
trivial. Every man who is entitled to
vote. and does so through IA patriotic
duty, will find time to register within
the limit required by the law, even
in the sparcely settled counties. But
this is only one OF IA number of bills
the fate OF which is uncertain.

II was probably too strong IN its pro
